Cut it Out

The #Cut It Out campaign is a joint initiative between the Traveller Movement and Rene Cassin aimed at tackling hate speech and inflammatory rhetoric in politics against ethnic minority or religious groups.

Research has shown time and again that racist or derogatory language by politicians against minority groups can lead to a spike in hate crimes, while racist and irresponsible reporting in the media can lead to a backlash against all community members. This is unacceptable. We are working with Rene Cassin to challenge this and instead promote inclusive and value-driven language.

Social media is a powerful way to spread the message of the campaign and to help get wider public support.

Posts with photos on Twitter and Facebook get shared the most, so to help get the campaign as much attention as possible we have produced a poster for you to download and have your photo taken with.

Use our tweet template to copy and paste messages of solidarity with GRT communities on social media

Please encourage as many of your friends, family and colleagues as possible to have their photo taken with the poster and share on Facebook and Twitter!

Another good way to get a message out there on social media is to send tweets to people with large followings, such as celebrities and politicians (Councillors and MPs) and asking them to have their photo taken with the #CutItOut poster.

About us

The Traveller Movement is a national community charity promoting inclusion and community engagement with Gypsies, Roma and Travellers.

The Traveller Movement seeks to empower and support Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities to advocate for the full implementation of their human rights.

In view of the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we’ve taken the decision to help protect members, friends of TM and colleagues by closing the Traveller Movement office.

All staff will be working remotely for the foreseeable future, meaning our team will be continuing providing services but through our social media platforms, over the email/zoom or other means of remote communication instead.

We will be updating our website and social media platforms on a regular basis.

If you are looking for further information, we have put together a specific Covid-19 page on our website with many resources and factsheets to assist during this difficult time. Please visit; https://www.travellermovement.org.uk/covid-19
